Hey,
so, I grabbed one of the USA Platinum sunset hot PAF pups for like $30 +shipping.
http://www.rosepickups.com/
I installed it into my white '87 Ibenhad RG550. Out of all of my RG's, this one sounds the best. The wood must resonate at just the right frequency.
I had an MCP Torque in there before. I loved it, but I just wanted to see how this pickup differed since I loved the Torque.
This pup is DIFFERENT from the Torque. Not better, not worse, just different.
It seems quicker, tighter, and brighter, but in a good way. It has a ton of character. It splits well, and it just has a very resonant, airy tonal quality that suits VH-ey stuff very well. Very balanced response. Mids aren't spikey at all. Pickup lets the amp make the gain, which I prefer to midbombers like the DMZ super 3 or SD Custom Custom.
Ken (the owner) has been VERY friendly, and open to communication. The delivery was also quite fast. pickup included pickup ring, springs, and hardware. Rose Pickups gets an A+ from me.
Seriously, it was only like $36.95 TOTAL.
(It was a closeout, scratch and dent, something or other.)
There are too many nice pickups and not enough guitars in which to try them.
